It is a machined billet aluminum catch can with a screw off bottom like the Elite so I can understand how they may look visually similar. Below is a side-by-side exterior comparison. As you can immediately see, there are significant differences dimensionally and volumetrically.
I can't compare them internally because the Elite can not be disassembled so I don't know exactly what is going on in the upper portion of their can. You can see from the photo that the functional portion of the Elite only occupies the top third of the catch can where ours occupies the top two thirds. I can say that from day 1 we set out to design a catch can that exceeded the performance and quality of those currently on the market and the engineering team we worked with did exactly that.
Beyond that the designs are very different. The Apex Motorsports Catch Can has a couple very unique features that set it apart from all other systems. If you wish to clean your Apex Motorsports Catch Can it can be completely disassembled and the filter media can be replaced. This ensure a longer service life that other catch cans. The most interesting feature of our catch can is that it has three outlet ports so it can be configured however you need it. All hardware needed for a single outlet install is included and the option to add an extra outlet fitting for FI applications that require dual outlets is available. You can utilize any of the three outlets for a custom installation for your application. Hex head plugs are included to cap off outlets not in use.
Speaking of patents, the Apex Motorsports catch can is patent pending. |
Thanks for the explanation and the pictures. I agree, when seen together it doesn't look like a copy. Good luck with your new product.
